[fast5] Re: Help, advice, once again...?

My eating habits had been eating what ever I wanted to during the hours I could eat. This generally would start at first with me eating a sandwich (normal size... ham and cheese), then some chips and a piece of cake or something. Then 2 or 3 hours later I would eat dinner (approx 6:30 PM) and eat more than I should have, of whatever my wife would fix... this would be spaghetti or chicken, or something along those lines, then usually some sides of corn or something and a salad. If she didn't cook I'd eat pizza or something not so healthy I'm sure. My idea was to do this, not change "what" I'm eating, but "how much" I was eating. Well, I began to notice I was eating too much too fast and after reading other posts the dizziness and spaciness was brought about from too much of the wrong kind of food in too short of a time period.

This time around, I'm trying the raw veggies during my fast window to start out. I tried the lemon juice in water this morning... I actually bough the little plastic lemons full of juice (for convenience sake) and poured the whole thing in a cup of ice and filled the rest with water. Very sour, but definitely tolerable if it helps with the spaciness. So far so good.
